October 1, 2011 : At Phaton, Chiang Mai Already fallen.

I hope it's good next day.

[SPIKECM]

Situation in Chang Klan Ok now. Access from night market all the way I suspect. Certainly Chiang Mai Land is now clear. Only flooding still there that I saw was at Lanna Palace intersection, although passable. That area must have been deep yesterday.

Where in Chiang Mai are you located? Is this the tropical storm you think, or something local?

The worst thing that could happen now must be heavy rain upstreams north of the city. Anyone?

That was just the usual rainy season downpour - 20 minutes max, I think.

Ping river is below critical, water is gone from the local moo baan south of mahidol that I was keeping an eye on. It reached 50 - 60 cm at its highest, measuring from the wet line on the walls. Pretty high considering that this is pretty far away from the river.. the best part is that people in the moo baan are smiling again.

From Nimmanhaemin. More to come as I saw from the news

Don't know if it's headed towards CM, but rain in Ban Hong, Lamphun (past lamphun city towards pa sang/lee) is slamming down hard right now.

Does anyone know if the Airport Plaza got heavy rain tonight? I hope not...pls let me know if you have any info.

[WinnieTheKhwai]

Rain in town doesn't matter all that much when serious flooding is only caused by the rivers and streams. The worry is if one of the coming tropical depressions chuck down sustained amounts of water North of town.

Not much. Starting around 9PM the airport area received nearly 1/4" (6mm). That was all for the rest of the night.

Glad to hear you're all drying out some up there! I was supposed to fly in last week, but thought better of it. Now I'm debating going Wednesday, and probably just staying in the old town. Sounds like that will be right in the aftermath of whatever Nesat leaves . . . any thoughts on whether that's likely to affect airport to inner moat area (specifically getting from one to the other)?

That section of town seems to hold up well during the floods (airport to inner moat) and you should be o.k. edit: as long as you stay up on Mahidol. Thipanet does flood and get difficult.

How about walking street tonight, have guests who would like to see it? Where best to park?

The area does not seem to be flooded from what I read but no chance to check it out having just arrived back from Chiang Saen last night.

Anybody going up that way it seems to be very clear and we had great sunny weather for 3 days!

On a previous post somebody mentioned the Chiang Saen to Mae Sai road was a mess-still is!

[Ulysses G.]

Don't worry. Walking Street is bone dry and never floods more than an inch or two when it rains really hard and then quickly goes away.

Walking street will be dry but maybe not all the stalls will be set up as people are busy trying to deal with the floods.

Thipanet floods? That's pretty far from the river . . . the flooding doesn't cover all the way over to the river, does it?

It should be 3.38 ;-) and it is 3.41 now. I am waiting for a +15 cm / h to worry. This looks "normal" to me;-) .. hope I am not wrong.

I wish I could read Thai properly..... which river is this? It is not the Ping, but could run into the Ping and cause trouble. http://www.hydro-1.c...&rivercode=0607

It is critical!

[CMwanderer]

Nawarat is only 3.41 on the readings. And looking at the actual river now and it looks like 3.41.

[CMwanderer]

The critical 5.25 is for Bridge City Pier.

Bridge Tha Nang, Muang, Lamphun.

[dingdongrb]

Can anyone tell me if the ring roads are open to the Super Hwy?
